Village Telco is a project using mesh wifi to provide voice telecoms in remote parts of the world using custom hardware

The issues come with a smart mesh protocol. There are many around, 802.11s, oslr, BATMAN, etc. (Village Telco & Friefunk use BATMAN).
See Project Serval for implementation of BATMAN on Android devices.

- JCB_K 16y agoVery interesting, thanks! Especially the Android-app has huge potential, when people actually use it. Using the situation in Egypt as a case-study, loads of people there could've had an app which inter-connects them and supplies them with a messaging-system, and when the network could handle it, voice-contact.
